THE 100000 YACHT.
MIR. w. X. vanderbilt's Floating Palace Is
Marine Failure.

Mr. w. X. vanderbilt's Floating Palace Is
Marine Failure.
The rumor that the steel steam yacht
Alva, for whichW K.Vanderbilt paid over
half million dollars only short time ago,
has proved to be failure generally Is
borne out by the statements of many
yachting men and experienced builders
and designers. From the statement of
one of the seamen published yesterday it
will be seen that the draught Is much
greater than her designer believed 1t
would be, and an expert states that it Is at
least eighteen inches more. This in so
large boat makes difference in dis
placement sufficient in itself TO account
for the great reduction of the Alva's esti-
mated speed.
The designer asserted that this would
be seventeen to eighteen knots, but
the best time that she could possibly
make is put at thirteen and a-half, and 1t
is stated that during her voyage to Havana
she did not come up to that rate OF speed
even. Then the lines upon which she is
built are found fault with. Her designer,
st. Glare Byrne, of Liverpool, has q
good reputation in England, and his
plans were carefully carried out by the
Wilmington builders to the minutest de-
tail. In the opinion of the best judges 1t
is the design only which Is at fault, and
it is generally accepted as another piece
of trustworthy testimony to the many
already received by Americans who have
sought English designs, that for good
sailing qualities the American model is
away ahead of the British. We have
American steam yachts, American design,
American everything about them, that
will make nineteen knots an hour.

IN AN oLD-FAsnIoNED CHURCH.



Twas an oId-fashioned church in new-fash-
Toned town,
Shrinking back from the turbulent street,
And the sun through the unlimited windows
shone down
Like blessing beseechings to meet.
If the old-fashioned worshipers knelt in the
pews
To hear the good minister pray,
Was that cause for an unkneeling stranger to
lose
The prayer, and to let his eyes strayY
1t was not Then suppose that his straying
eyes met,
Just over the top of pew,
And beneath hat laughing with feathers
and jet,
Two eyes of heavenly blue
Was that very susceptible stranger to blame
If he heard not the minister's prayer,
If he thought of the creature and guessed at
her name,
And forgot the Creator up there?
Yon insist that twas wrong? Wen, perhaps
you are right,
But this much let SHINING man say:
Every maidens blue eyes should be kept out
of sight
= When she kneels in the old-fashioned way.

Air too Thin TO Breathe and Fish that

DIR Hanru II p~~i--- - rN-4-- a. L 49,
recently returned from a years tour
through Chill and Bolivia with large
collection of skins, relics, plants and
mineral specimens
CDR. Rosby's adventures were many and
interesting, and In due time win be given
to the world in book. He did battle
with the Caripuna Indians and the man
eating fish and alligators of the Benz
river, broiled in the stenches Of La Paz,
the filthiest city this side of Constantine
pie, took his daily dose of quinine like
little man, and saw the place where g.
100000 cinchona trees are growing.
From all this he came out much the
worse for wear, but still full of enthusi-
asm and confident that out of the 300
native drugs he had examined two or
three would prove superior to the similar
remedies now known to the medical pro-
fession.
He crossed the Andes with much trib-
ulation. He says:
"Our journey from Tacma was one of
terrible suffering 1t was upon high
table-land, reaching an elevation of 16,500
feet, and for five days we journeyed at
an average elevation of 14,500 The air
was so rarified that we suffered much
from sorocho, the chief symptoms of
which were difficulty in breathing, pros
trating muscular weakness, and bleeding
at the nose and ears. We passed the
beautiful volcano of Tacosa, which dis
charges across the road a river, the water
Of which is fatal to human life. Men
often commit suicide on the table-land,
they suffer so much from sorocho. There
is also great danger from lightning, which
is frequent and violent AT one time
three members Of party in which was
were Frustrated by lightning and a fourth
was stricken blind for eleven days. The
wind is so violent here that trees cannot
grow, and the vegetation is mat-like,
closely hugging the ground"
sAmong the wonders which the doctor
met was half-pound fish, so sensitive
that 1t attacked anything which caused a
commotion in the water, and so fierce
that it would kill horse or man in cross
ing stream 100 feet WIDE He found a
tribe of Indians so virtuous that they tied
the unfaithful to ant trees, and the little
insects would eat them alive, stripping
the bones in less than twenty-four hours
In brief, he had a great time. a

JOHN RusKIN ON the study of languages:
IF they want to learn Chinese they should
go to China, and they want to learn Dutch,
to Amsterdam, and after they've learned all
they want, learn wholesomely to hold their

languages whatsoever"
THE REV. PHILLIPS Brooks: nGod will
only punish men for wickedness and not for
holding opinions. That is the truth which
cuts into the knot of sophistry and ends that
great error, that error itself is guilt. The
church should be more intolerant of selfish
ness, cant and hypocrisy, and less indignant
with original opinions. The minister should
be the pattern of intolerance of all that is
immoral and the model of tolerance of what
is honest doubt and honest belief in what
differs from himself
MAYOR HEWITT, when asked: "Do you
think Sunday oratorio would conduce to aid
or weaken the cause of Sunday morality in
New York;" "As am not an expert in
music, ought not to have been asked this
question; but should say, on general princi-
pies, that it depended upon the character of
the music and the character of the audience.
1.-THE music were bad and the audience in
telligent should think it would conduce to
morality on the part of the audience. If the
music were good and the audience were bad,
fancy that they would be awfully bored by
the performance"

the matter were perfectly plain. "My heart

Thanks" responded, a little drily.
Pussy continued, 'heli give you" (this with
coy, loving action, "give you-me."
I-well, it's not necessary to state what
did at this juncture, but when Pussy had
gotten free again reproached her playfully:
"0h, Pussy, all these schemes, when !
thought you SO artlessl"
"TIl confess the whole, now I'm in the
humor," she declared. "Frankie was really
throwing snowbails that day you crossed the
park, but he never threw the one that hit
you"
"Who did it then p'' asked.
81 did it." Pussy replied, her eyes dane

TRADEs-UNIoNs IN ENGLAND.
Some Enormous, Wealthy, and Long Estab-
lished Workmen's Organizations.

BY order of the House of Commons
Messrs. Hansard have just printed an appen-
dix to the returns of the chief register of
friendly societies for the year ending Decem-
Der 81, 1886, giving list of registered trades
unions in the United Kingdom, with the dates
of their establishment, and, in some cases,
particulars of their funds, incomes and mem
bership.
From this it appears that the Oldest of all
trade-unions in the kingdom is the Steam
Engine Makers Society, Manchester, which
was established on November 2, 1924 and has
now 910, 4S5 accumulated funds, and men,
bership of 5,062 The union possessing the
largest fund of those which have sent in re-
turns Though it must be remembered that
several of the largest societies, such, for ex-
ample as the Amalgamated Society of En-
gineers, have given no particulars of their
tinances) is the Amalgamated Society of
Carpenters and Joiners, with headquarters
at Manchester. The funds of this organiza-
ton are stated at ESQ, S51; annual income,
963, 122, and membership, rs, ISL. 1t is, how
ever, closely pressed by the Amalgamated
Society of Railway Servants of England, Ire
land, Scotland and Wales, whose head
quarters arein City road London. The funds
of this society are stated at ESQ, 7S9, with an
annual income of 9l4,375, and 9,0A mem
bers.
The largest annual income-a70. 70s-is
claimed by the United Society of Boiler
makers and Iron Shipbulders Of Newcastle
on-Tyne, with 27,695 members, and accu-
mulated funds amounting to 43S,3l7 The
Durham Miners Association appears to be,
so far as the returns show, numerically the
strongest union in the kingdom, having
$4,000 members with an income of R46 1853,
and funds amounting to 935, 1893. Some of
the titles of these societies show the extern
sive qualifications of rades-unionism. That
there is Warehousemen's Philanthropic
Society in Bradford should occasion no sur
prise, but the same town boasts of Stuff
makers-up Provident Society, with consider
able funds and an income of more than
91,O00ayear. The ard-setting-machine-ten

cock-hnishers, the amalgamated chimney
sweeps, the amicable wool-staplers and the
rundlet coopers-all these and many more
have separate trade organizations of their
own for mutual protection.
